Itching & bitching!


OUCH!!

I got stung (or is it bit?) by a few dozen fire-ants yesterday. Immediately I put bleach on it- stopped the pain right away. But, today- they are all whelped up and MAN! do they ever burn and itch! Adding insult to injury- the majority of them are on my legs and wearing compression stockings over them is atrocious!

So... I'm NOT a HAPPY camper!

I was intrigued to discover the chemical composition of ant venom! Makes me wonder.. do those little guys have to pass chemistry in order to exercise their stingers? NO! So... since I didn't TAKE chemistry... and I certainly don't understand the "Asymmetric Induction via an Intramolecular Haloetherification Reaction of Chiral Ene Acetals" should I have to suffer?? HA!

Home remedies? Please send ASAP!

Oh my! I can only imagine your discomfort, but if it's anything like my reaction (or worse!) to bug bites, then you have my sympathies big time. Unfortunately, I don't have any remedies for you... Try not to scratch and I hope it all gets better--and fast!
